Death — something to talk about

ALIVE AGAIN.

After a pandemic hiatus, The 100% Certainty Project is back! We are excited to announce our book selections for 2022/23 – a great line-up of books to unveil the curtain on death.

​

Talking about death won’t kill you — but sometimes it can be frightening or awkward. The 100% Certainty Project promotes books to read and talk about, which will help to get conversations started about what’s important to you when you face what is inevitable.

​

Read. Reflect. Talk about books.

Talk about death. Live your fullest life.
